Now in a thoroughly revised and expanded second edition, this influential book provides an innovative framework for understanding and treating intimate partner violence. Drawing on a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives, the author traces the development of the male abusive personality from early childhood to adulthood. The book concludes by presenting a cognitive-behavioral group treatment program designed to meet this population's unique needs. In the second edition, the theoretical model has been refined and all chapters have been updated to reflect advances in attachment, trauma research, and other areas. Two new chapters address the neurobiological roots of abusive behavior and the development of abusiveness in females.

"What sets this book apart from others is that Dutton goes to the core of partner violence by addressing individual psychopathology. He convincingly argues that abusive men have significant personality problems with origins in their early development, and he uses object relations and attachment theory to provide excellent clinical descriptions of how an individual becomes an abuser. This is important reading for any clinician or researcher interested in the psychology of battering." - K. Daniel O'Leary, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University, USA
"Outstanding. Based on over 20 years of empirical literature and clinical experience, this second edition is a 'must read' for mental health professionals and researchers... With a solid foundation in the etiology of violent behavior, readers also learn about Dutton's highly effective perpetrator intervention program. The book will be accessible both to seasoned clinicians and to students, interns, and newly licensed professionals. What is most exciting and unique about this second edition is its incorporation of the most recent findings on neurobiology and attachment theory into a comprehensive theory of the development and treatment of The Abusive Personality." - Daniel J. Sonkin, private practice, Sausalito, California, USA
"Dutton's formulations are the product of a first-rate scientific mind informed by decades of empirical research. He brings scientific rigor and intellectual clarity to his writing, which is both scholarly and compelling. With this second edition, Dutton solidifies his position as one of the world's most eminent domestic violence researchers." - Reid Meloy, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, USA
